What We Do

What clients say

I think the type of service and responses after the test from you is one of the best I have ever experienced.

Microwave Properties North was able to quickly and accurately measure the
microwave properties of our materials, confirming the characteristics for a
new process that we were looking for. This allowed us to move forward to
bring a new product to market.

Ron brings years of experience to microwave property measurement and is a
pleasure to work with.

Our measurements can reduce your development costs by answering these crucial questions :

Will my material heat well in a microwave field?

What is the best choice of frequency for heating/processing my material?

What type and geometry of applicator is best suited to processing my material?

How uniform will the heating of the work piece be at processing temperatures?

Will its microwave absorption characteristics change during the processing?

Will thermal runaway be a problem in my microwave processing system?

Does my thermal insulation absorb/reflect microwave power at high
temperatures?

Measurements of Rf and microwave attenuation coefficients, half-power depths, and reflection
coefficients ( using small samples), to assist in detailed applicator design and interpretation of
radar and satellite images

Assisting with design of continuous flow and batch process applicators for industrial Rf and
microwave heating

Scoping calculations of microwave heating rates and heating distributions for process
simulation, including time dependent and thermal runaway effects - used for microwave
process feasibility studies

After measurement of ε' and ε", calculation of values of tanδ
and the Half-Power Penetration Depth and the
“equivalent conductivity” using the following formulas:
